This invention relates to salesbooksr 1 An objectof this invention istoprovide a salesbookin which a plurality of duplicate records may-be 1nade,-each of which may 00- cupy substantially the full size of the record leaf. A further object is to provide a salesbook in which the original record may be made upon a better grade of paper, if desired, than the copies.

A "further object is to provide an im proved construction in which a plurality of recordsmay be made which will be economical of manufacture and simple in operation.

Other objects will be in part obvious and will in part appear hereinafter. r

The invention accordingly comprisesthe features of construction, combinations of elements, and arrangement of parts, which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the claim. I

For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which: v

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a salesbook embodying the invention,

Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross section on the line 22 of Fig. 1., and

Figs. 3 and 4 are fragmental sections similar to Fig. 2 showing modifications.

It has heretofore been proposed to construct a salesbook by binding a series of sheets into a pad and folding the sheets to form two record leaves, and attaching a third sheet to one of the record leaves near the fold extending in the direction away from the fold. Such a book when employed with suitable carbon sheets could be used to make a triplicate record, but by reason of the fact that the point of attachment lies between the point of fold and the record surface of the sheet, the full length of the sheet cannot be utilized for record purposes, as

the transfer material cannot be brought clear down to the fold.

In accordance with the present invention,

folded upon itself to form two record leaves hand 5," sheet being tllo sheet 4r and extending up towardthe stub portioniofrthe book-M, v y

1 As illustratedin the fOIIHwSllOWIT in Fig; 1, an auxiliary leaf 6 is attached as at 7 to .the 'underface of the bound sheet 4,- but ii.

a direction to extend toward and beyond the fold 2. This auxiliary leaf is folded with the shcetl at the point 2 to form a third record leaf (5 superposed upon the leaf 5. The leaf 5 will preferably extend slightly further in the direction of the stub than the leaf 6. Each of the record leaves may have a suitable form thereon.

Suitable transfer sheets will be interposed between the record leaves to transfer impressions from the upper to the lower leaves. As illustrated, a transfer sheet 8 may be bound within the stub 3 in position to be interleaved between the leaves 4 and 5 and this transfer sheet carries at one ofits side edges an auxiliary sheet 9 adapted to be folded over the sheet 5 and to lie between that sheet and the sheet 6. 3

With the above construction, it will be clear that the entire surface of the record leaves may be utilized for record purposes by reason of the fact that the leaf 6 extends from the point of attachment toward the fold and is folded with the sheet, thus providing space for the transfer sheets between the record leaves, which is open clear to the fold.

By reason of the factthat the original leaf is a separate sheet attached to the bound sheet, it may if desired be made of a different color or grade of paper. Thuswhere it is desired to have an original to be sent to the customer, it maybe made of a better grade of paper than those which are intended for record purposes only.

In the modification illustrated in Fig. 3, the auxiliary leaf 5 is attached to the upper face of the bound leaf 4* of the sheet 1* and folded with the sheet to form the duplicate record. This form of the invention possesses the advantage that the second copy may be made of adifl'erent grade or color of paper from the other two.

Fig. 4, the auxiliary leaf 5 is attached to the under face of the ori 'nal leaf 6" of the sheet 1 and folded with t e sheet to form a dup- In the form of the invention illustrated in licate copy. With this form of the invention, the original and duplicate may be removed from the book as a unit to be subsequently separated when desired.

Since certain changes may be made in the above construction and different embodiments of the invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

It is also to be understood that the follow ing claim is intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
